Reliving The Weddings

One of the most awarded and highly rated shows ever on HBO, Game of Thrones burst onto the screens with fire and ice. It was a big-budget project that was imbued with high expectations and a lot of excitement. There were many moments in the pilot episode that may have enticed viewers.

Ned's execution, Daenerys emerging from the fire, and Jon Snow's resurrection are all etched in the minds of the viewers.

But, sometimes it would be great to have all those memories wiped, just to be able to experience the Red Wedding for the first time all over again. Many would no doubt wish that the last season stay wiped, or at least re-done, but either way, there is no denying that seeing Westeros with fresh eyes would be a dream come true.

It even spawned a beloved spin-off prequel, which also boasts many devoted viewers. Stepping into the criminal underworld via an unsuspecting, terminally ill teacher is not something one would normally expect, but it was his desperate determination that made him so deadly.

To hear Walter's "I am danger" speech again, experience the prison massacre, or see the ATM crushing a human being for the very first time again, would be quite the gift. But, more importantly, seeing the relationship between Jesse Pinkman and Walter White develop, and seeing Saul become the beloved leading man that he was born to be, are what would make experiencing this iconic drama TV show again so special.
